MAAARRAAAAA!!!

I was happily skipping through the dungeon with a MDFi Utterly annihalating anything that got in my way.
Then when I descended to Swamp:2 BAM!
Mara was an extremely uncomfortable 5 tiles away from me.
So i simply ran back up the stairs but Still.
I'VE GOT A JERKIN MARA ON SWAMP:2

What the Jerk was Mara doing there! I dont want fight a Mara for my first rune!
How on earth am I Supposed to do This! I hate Mara! WAAAAHAHAHA!!

I need a good ol' Peptalk before i go all Leroy Jenkins* on him/her/it/Jerk
*Except without the Part where i blindly charge in and Die like an idiot.

(However its a good thing i knew what/who Mara Is/isn't or it would have already been too late)

Re: MAAARRAAAAA!!!

I built up some nerve and found some other stairs and went down those so i could could get a SS
Apparently Its not as bad as i thought it was but I DO need to go back to that Area because of that scroll.

EDIT: i have 1 teleportation scroll and a scroll of fog but not much else in terms of escape options.

Re: MAAARRAAAAA!!!

Use a different set of stairs and avoid the floor for now. If you're really, really dead set on that scroll now and willing to risk a YASD, bring plenty of escape options and approach it from a different staircase. Or use the same one and cast Apportation.
The best strategy most frequently overlooked by new players for surviving: not starting a fight to begin with.

Re: MAAARRAAAAA!!!

Yeah i ended Up sneaking over to the scroll and apparently Mara had roamed away to somewhere else.
Luckily i did not see that poopoo head again thanks to those sets of stairs close together.
Mara remains unharmed on Swamp:2 but i kinda want revenge on Him to even the score.

The best revenge on Mara is to steal the loot and Rune right out from under her feet without even letting her find out. Then she'll wait for you out in that miserable Swamp forever.

Re: MAAARRAAAAA!!!

No, the best revenge on Mara is to kill him! I'm not sure I've died to him even once :twisted:

Of course, that's because I've had a healthy respect for him.

Re: MAAARRAAAAA!!!

In an earlier thread, I got good Mara advice, and he's not necessarily as scary as he seems. rF up, wield a non-weapon (the bread ration is an amusing option), and after he clones you, switch to your weapon, buff, and thrash. Your clone can't switch weapons or buff itself.

Healing cures mislead, in case you need to cure it for some reason.

You do want to have some good escape options, in case things get out of hand, but this fight is winnable.

You got any summons? Summon some helpers out to tag the clones when you can. Wand of confusion too.

You don't need to re-visit the level to get a screenshot. Just hit X, then ] (if you're on the level above).
